Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast.

Where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing

healthy weight.

I want to talk about why I consume four eggs every single day.

I did a seminar at Exxon many years ago and I noticed they didn't invite me back.

I called them up. I said, why can't I come back and do another seminar because I do a seminar

series? And they said, well, you're recommending 45 eggs a day. I said, no, no, no, I didn't say

45 eggs a day. I said four to five eggs a day. Okay. And they go, oh, okay. Yeah, you can come back.

But generally, I will eat four eggs and sometimes only eat five eggs per day.

Now, of course, those eggs are not consumed at breakfast. They're actually at my first meal,

right around one or even two, sometimes three o'clock in the afternoon. So one of the key reasons

that I consume eggs on a regular basis, not only do I enjoy it, but eggs have the greatest

anabolic effect. Anabolic means that it's turning into muscle protein or other protein. So it's

building more protein in the body. I have a little scale here that shows these percentages

and the type of protein. So egg 48 percent of it actually turns into body tissue. And I'm not

talking about even absorption. I'm talking about 48 percent of that egg actually turns into

your body tissue. And that's pretty much the highest not counting breast milk. Unless you're a

baby, you're not going to be able to get it. Now, when we take meat, fish, foul, that's 32 percent.

Okay. Much less. And egg white is 17 percent, which is fascinating because

that cholesterol and fat actually help an anabolic effect. Look at soy. Only 17 percent.

It might be high in amino acids, but it does not turn into body tissue that well.

Dairy way, this would be like cheese and way, 16 percent, very small, spirulina, 6 percent.
